I remember before I arrived in Vegas I had a phone call with Scott where I asked him if the weekdays were quiet at R\u00ed R\u00e1, Scott laughed and replied \u2018Oh no chica, everyday is the weekend in Vegas\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea what I was in for. The nerves really kicked in once I got off the plane and caught my first glance of the famous Las Vegas strip. I was so in awe of everything, it really is like Disney Land for adults. The nerves quickly eased off though once I took my first steps inside R\u00ed R\u00e1. I felt so at home, the decor, the music, the atmosphere, and of course once I started hearing the different Irish accents from both staff and customers, I knew I was in a good place.<\/p>\n<p>The thing I love most about working at R\u00ed R\u00e1 is the opportunity i have to meet people from all over the world. It feels surreal going from a small local Irish pub in Ireland talking to mostly regulars, to now being in Vegas where you don\u2019t know who is going to walk through the door.<\/p>\n<p>Vegas is definitely a world of its own but it\u2019s a world that I\u2019m absolutely loving so far. I\u2019m so excited for what this year has in store for me, everyday is so different from the next and I can\u2019t wait for what\u2019s to come!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Amy Dodd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started off working when I was 16 in a local pub in my hometown of Clondalkin Since the pub was located in our village, everyone knew everyone and it was usually the same craic every week -weekdays would be quiet, then come the weekend all the mad buachaill\u00ed agus cail\u00edn\u00ed would come out to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,40],"tags":[83,35,48,38,84,47],"class_list":["post-3451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pub-news","category-staff","tag-clondalkin","tag-irish","tag-las-vegas","tag-server","tag-sin-city","tag-staff"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3451"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4926,"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3451\/revisions\/4926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rira.com\/las-vegas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
